I get a lot of email.

Well who doesn’t.

I was digging through it and here were a few of the things that came in this week.

If you have emailed me a question, I am working on getting back to you and I will post some of them on the blog.

“I Will Use What I Learned for My Own Body First”

“I will use what I learned for my own body first and also share pointers and exercises with my class participants.

From Muscle Imbalances Revealed I have learned how much imbalance of muscles affect the function of the body, self care techniques for the shoulder and the fascia information was new and helpful.”

“Stop with All the Email”

“Stop with all the email.

 

I can’t keep up.

“Filled in A Lot of Knowledge Gaps”

“I’ve had scoliosis since age 11 and this is the first course/manual I’ve seen devoted specifically to scoliosis specific exercises.

“I Never Completely Understood the Shoulder Joint Until I Took This Course”

“I work with many seniors who have rotator cuff problems.

I found Effective Rotator Cuff Exercises provided a very good understanding regarding which exercises target certain muscle groups.

Effective Rotator Cuff Exercises was very thorough – I learned a lot. I never completely understood the shoulder joint until I took this course.”

I was laughing at you laughing.”

“I Turn to Rick for Injury Anaswers”

“I meet Rick 2 years ago at a fitness seminar.

“Impressed with the Wealth of Information Provided”

“Hi Rick, I have viewed the video presentation for the UTG for Cancer Survivors and can honestly say that I am impressed with the wealth of information provided.

Being a cancer survivor of 40 years this summer I can relate to many of the points made by the presenter. I’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt – as they say! This program definitely affords a personal trainer the opportunity to better understand how a person with cancer would like to be treated and how to put together a suitable exercise program for his/her cancer client.

Also, the information on cancer, types of treatment, side effects, etc., are all very helpful in helping the trainer to better understand and prepare for the cancer client.

Again, great program!”

There is a lot more awareness when it comes to muscle imbalances.

The incredible success of Muscle Imbalances Revealed 2.0 has really taken the industry by storm.

Trainers, coaches, and therapists from around the world have been using it to help their clients overcome injuries, bust through fitness plateaus, and prevent injuries.

It has been amazing to see how this little product has helped thousands of fitness & health professionals, which in return has helped hundreds of thousands of people.

Sad to say, the battle continues.

We need to do more to better understand, assess, and prescribe exercises to eliminate muscle imbalances.

In 2011, there will be more and more emphasis on muscle imbalances.

Muscle Imbalance is my #8 Exercise Rehabilitation Prediction for 2011

 
In fact, I just got approached by an Australian outdoor magazine to write an article on muscle imbalances and how it can affect the outdoor athlete.  Very cool.  I will let you know how it goes.

With the media starting to focus on it, so has the research.

Muscle Imbalances in the Research

I was trying to think about what to write about today.

At first I did not know what to write, but as I reflected on the week before the ideas started coming in.

Last Weekend with Mike Robertson

The feedback from last weekend has been incredible.

My and Mike’s Facebook pages were plastered with all kinds of kind words from people that attended.

I do enjoy bringing the best to Vancouver to help trainers, coaches, and therapists learn from the best.

Mike Robertson is one of the best.

If you missed out on last weekend, here is a clip from it:

The Next Big Name

After hosting Eric Cressey and Mike Robertson for 2010, people have been asking about who I am going to bring next.

It is Justin Price.

He will be coming to Vancouver in March 2011.

Even Mike Robertson Had a Good Time in Vancouver

Since I know how it is to be a presenter and host courses, I do all I can to make it easy for people that I host to present fitness education courses.

I did the best I could with Mike as well, and it sounds like it turned out well.

Mike did a very kind review of his weekend teaching in Vancouver, CLICK HERE to read it.

So Many Thank You’s

I think my family are the only ones that know how much time I put into blogging, doing videos, and Facebook.

It is great to hear that it is helping people.

Please do keep letting me know what you would like me to write on and help with.

More Kind Words

With the end of the year coming, I have been marking Muscle Imbalances Revealed exams like crazy.

Trainers, coaches, and therapists have been trying to get in their CECs and CEUs before the end of the year.

This is what a few people have said about Muscle Imbalances Revealed:

“Great review about the lower extremity from many perspectives and how it all ties together.  It was great to learn different assessment and treatment techniques to use.”

Yeah, it is Friday and I am doing my rambling.

I do like this post.  It gives me a chance to reflect on the week and see what has happened.  All of the good and bad.  Thankfully it is most often good.

Helping Out Strength Coach Podcast

I saw that the Strength Coach Podcast was having their 3 Year Anniversary Giveaway.

There was no way that I could not help out.

So I contacted Anthony Renna and he said it would be a huge help, and it would be something the thousands of strength coach listeners would benefit from.

Facebook Shout Out

I know some people get enough of me from my emails and blog, but many more people follow me on Facebook where I give even more information to help people out with their injuries.

It is so great to hear when the information that I am sharing helps others like the gang at Le Physique Personal Training.  They had some kind words to say about all I am doing on Facebook:

More Rave Reviews of Muscle Imbalances Revealed 2.0

Okay, I know, another raving review for Muscle Imbalances Revealed 2.0 – or as I call it, MIR2:

“Muscle Imbalances Revealed gives you a chance to learn from some of the very best in the world from the comfort of your own living room, on your own schedule.  Forget finding time to get away, costly travel expenses, flight delays, and hotel booking nightmares.  You can do it all from home!  Frankly, I have a responsibility to my clients to stay on the cutting edge of this industry, but I hate taking time away from them and my family.  With Muscle Imbalances Revealed I can stay at the top of my game without leaving my house.  This is simply a brilliant product that anyone looking to stay at the forefront of the fitness industry should watch.

Last Weekend Presenting

Last weekend I did my last set of courses for the year.  It is always sad when this happens.  Before I wrapped up, I made sure I had things set up for 2011.  If you would like to see what fitness education courses I have coming up next, CLICK HERE.

Here are some of the kind words from the registrants:

“Exercise Rehabilitation of the Neck course is very well explained.  A lot of explanation, examples, and hands on practice.”

Elizabeth Szabo
Pilates Instructor and Personal Trainer
New Westminster, BC, Canada

“Exercise Rehabilitation of the Lower Back course is a very good hands-on course.  Will definitely recommend to colleagues / peers this course and resources”

With that being said, there is one more course left this year.  The Mike Robertson Bulletproof Your Client’s Knees & Lower Back course.

I am so excited about this and a lot of other people are as well:

I will do what I can to take some video from the weekend.

That is it.

We will see many of you tomorrow at the course.  I have to head off to get the handouts for the course, and I have one extra handout.  If you want to go, CLICK HERE and register.

Please do not hunt me down and call me at 10 pm tonight and ask if you can register.  That is not cool.

That is it, have a great weekend.

After sending out the update on Muscle Imbalances Revealed 2.0, one of the contributors of MIR, Dean Somerset, sent me a great guest blog post for you.

Muscle Imbalances Part 2: The Long and Short of It

The 3 Hams

What is the solution?

I am really excited to announce the re-launch of Muscle Imbalance Revealed 2.0 .

Over the last few weeks I have been getting feedback from the hundreds of trainers, coaches, and therapists that have gotten Muscle Imbalances Revealed, to see how I could make it better.

This is the feedback that I got from them:

• We want more lower body muscle imbalance exercises – DONE!
• We want more information on the fascia stuff – DONE!
• We want to hear about new trends in muscle imbalances – DONE!

Thank you for everyone’s feedback, and I am very excited to give people what they want.

This is what is new for Muscle Imbalances Revealed 2.0:

#1 – Muscle Imbalance Exercises for the Lower Body (Value – $89)

I got a lot of feedback on Muscle Imbalances Revealed from all the health and fitness professionals from around the world, and the number one thing they wanted was MORE EXERCISES, so here you go.

For MIR2, we added more exercises that help address muscle imbalances in the lower body.

This bonus is a live presentation that I had done a few months back where I went through well over 50 exercises to address muscle imbalances in the lower body.

Some of them are unique and different, but very effective.

You get the video of the presentation and a handout with pictures of all the exercises.
